“I have always wanted to be in a position where I could help people meet their healthcare goals. I chose family medicine because of the long-term relationships you make with your patients and the variety of care I can provide.”
Winkler began his medical career in 2015 as a medical assistant and record clerk at LMH Primary Care – 6th and Maine, formerly known as Reed Medical Group, while pursuing his undergraduate degree.
During his training in Marysville, Kansas, Winkler strengthened his interested in providing care in a rural setting. He has received additional training for Mental Health and Addiction medicine. His primary focus is on providing his patients with collaborative care and support.
“The thing I love most about being a physician is watching my patients grow and change. It’s rewarding to be able to support them as they set goals and reach them. I am excited to be back in Kansas and in a community such as Tonganoxie, similar to the small town I grew up in.”
